Tasks are structured to support independence, routine and confidence in managing everyday responsibilities.
At 11am, participants take part in a structured boxing session. This activity supports physical fitness, coordination and confidence, while encouraging participants to follow instructions and engage in a safe, supported environment.
Afternoon Focus
The afternoon session focuses on social connection. Participants take part in group-based activities designed to build communication skills, encourage teamwork and support positive social interactions.
